LLR Prepared Partners

The Civil Contingencies Act divides responding organisations into two categories. The members of LLR Prepared are categorised as follows:

Category 1 Responders

Those organisations at the core of the response to most emergencies (e.g. Emergency Services, Local Authorities, NHS bodies and the Environment Agency). Category 1 Responders are subject to the full set of civil protection duties.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service
Rescuing people trapped by fire, wreckage or debris, dealing with released chemicals or other contaminants in order to make an incident site safe, recommending exclusion zones.

East Midlands Ambulance Service
Sustaining life through emergency treatment at the scene, coordinating the on-site NHS response and determining the hospital(s) to which injured people should be taken depending on the types of injuries received.

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust
Saving life and providing emergency treatment of casualties away from the scene. In the event of an emergency resulting in large numbers of casualties, the ambulance service will designate receiving hospital(s) from a number of hospital sites across the region. Within Leicestershire, casualties will be managed at the Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Public Health England
Identifying and responding to health hazards and emergencies caused by infectious disease, hazardous chemicals, poisons or radiation, giving advice to the public on how to stay healthy and avoid health hazards.
